MeeK

There’s no way to tip toe around the fact, Meek is the spoken word artist that will take the genre to the cracks and crevices of your intellect and ask it, “do you like it spicy?” Mr. Meek is a product of a rebuked Reaganomics era and a cold eastside gang culture that inaugurated him to the dog eat dog world. Raised in Northern California, Meek drew influences from the rich revolutionary past that the Bay Area is notorious for. His style is reminiscent of what early 1990’s hip-hop represented with the real and raw lyrics of Chuck D mixed with the slick street science of Ice Cube. He possesses the linguistics of a scholar with the untamed tongue of a young Malcolm (before the chickens came home to roost). Meek has a talent that we see in poets far and few in between. His earliest beginnings were as a member of a neighborhood backyard ensemble however, as fate would have it out of the original four members one is dead, two are in jail, and then there was Meek, the survivor.

A traveler, having been halfway around the world by the time he was 22, Meek recognizes the importance of diversity and the inclusion of all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds. When he was younger his uniqueness always kept him secluded and alienated from even his own family but fast forward to when the child became a man and the same uniqueness that he was teased for is now adored. He can deliver a poem like no other because his passion is unparalleled and his desire to avert from the norm keeps his performances fresh and crisp. An astute student persuing an MA degree, Meek is extremely open to mentoring youths by public speaking.
